I felt I knew which way this film was going but then it would go in different directions to where I never knew how the film would end, and I loved that about this Film.

Watch the anime series.įirst off, I admit I never saw the series of Clannad, so perhaps I would have been biased in watching this film if I would have seen the series, but I did not, so as I watched this film 'Clannad', I was pleasantly surprised, I loved it! It was a movie that was completely unpredictable.

For those who has seen the TV series, I'm sure this movie would feel lacking in comparison, and those who hasn't probably can't keep up with the accelerated story development. Another fatal mistake was changing the 'Dango Big Family' song, which was a masterpiece to anyone who has seen the TV series. Kyoto Animation (which produced the TV series) once again impresses me with the animation quality compared with Toei. Lighting seemed too bright as well, though I guess they were trying to illustrate the dreaminess of the story. The animation wasn't as impressive as the TV series, and I thought there were way too many still-pictures, which seemed like laziness.

The end result was a rushed plot development, and the movie ended without the audience being able to connect with any of the characters. There was a significant change in character setting and scenarios, which was great, but this story is way too long to be compressed into a 100-minute movie. The animated series is one of my favorite series of all time, but I found the movie to be very weak. Say you are someone who hates anime, even then I can confidently recommend this series to you, you won't be disappointed. So yes, its still worth to see this movie. This movie was a way to see them all again.

Once we have seen the series, each character in it becomes our friend, and we will miss them. In the TV series, the music absolutely blows us away! It is so perfect that it seems to be flowing with our heart. It sounded like the silly sounds that we may make when we are trying to imitate a horror movie infront of our friends, like where we are purposefully trying to be silly. And the background music, is it me, or did it feel as if they were purposefully mocking the movie. And not just the parents, the many many characters that you will quickly see here, they all have important roles in what happens between Nagisa and Tomoya, yet they are all forgotten here. In reality they are very mature people and important to the overall story. Here Nagisa's parents seem like they are crazy and that they are desperate to set Tomoya up with Nagisa. And those people are like super heroes with super powers, whereas Nagisa is ridiculously frail of body and she is nowhere as beautiful as Belldandy, yet somehow she is so strong with the most beautiful heart that you are in awe of her! I also felt that most of the emotions in this movie were forced and it seemed too artificial. She can only be compared to people like Avatar Aang (Avatar the Last Airbender), Belldandy (Ah My Goddess), etc. Pestering and pushy, silly and dumb! But the real Nagisa (from the TV series), is the most amazing character that I have ever seen. Here she seems to be chasing after Tomoya. The saddest thing about this movie is that it trivializes the lead actress, Nagisa. And because of that, unfortunately, this movie comes across as mediocre. It can only be compared to movies like Tokyo Story, Spirited Away, Life is Beautiful, Its a Wonderful Life, etc. Because the movie and the TV series has the same story (there are small differences though), this movie may be redundant, so the question is, do you need to see it at all? I will try to answer that: Quality - The Clannad TV series I think is the best anime/movie/TV series that I have ever seen. I am so sorry there is nothing more to say than this, really. The story - Its very simple, a high school girl and boy meet and they fall in love. If you watch this movie and then the TV show it will spoil all the surprises. As you can see from above, this movie came before the TV series, but it is supposed to be viewed last. Clannad: After Story (2008– ) - The TV series Season 2. Clannad (2007–2008) - The TV series Season 1. This is the right order to see Clannad: 1.

Have you already seen the TV series? If not, please don't see this movie yet.
